Small is beautiful, and this tiny box is truly very small — a charming example of Chinese cloisonné craftsmanship from the 1970s, often used as a pill box or a little jewelry box.

It features a delicate floral design in soft green tones, created with coloured enamels on a white background, all set in brass. Despite its size, it has a lovely handmade presence.

On a dressing table, a bedside table, or displayed in a cabinet, it adds a gentle decorative touch. And if you are thinking of starting a small collection, it’s a perfect piece to begin with.
